The American elections are over – for the next four years, Donald J. Trump will lead the country for better or worse. Hillary Clinton’s defeat took many by shock and surprise – including Microsoft, who’s Bing Predicts algorithm claimed an 89.7% for Hillary Clinton to be the next POTUS.

Unlike the many analytical polls who compile data from a sample population and attempt to figure out the candidate with a higher chance of winning; Bing gathers data from a world of metrics – its search traffic, social media traffic, and some extra data from 3rd parties such as PredictWise.

Hillary Clinton did get more individual votes overall, but that’s not how the electoral college system counts them. The game was fair; the rules have been around for generations, and while it might not be perfect – it is how it is, and the results are to be respected.

It could perhaps be an excellent idea to push for electoral reforms, for the future.
